ABSTRACT Abrasive water jet machining is classified as a non-conventional machining process. Abrasive water jet machining uses water jet under high pressure as a tool, with added particles of abrasives. The most significant characteristic of the abrasive water jet cutting technology is cold cutting, which does not have a thermal effect on the material. The objective of the experimental investigation is to conduct research of the machining parameters' impact on surface roughness of the machined parts, and derive conclusions referring to the manner in which certain machining parameters affect surface roughness. Experimental investigation was conducted in the way that samples of two different materials were cut on the machine using different machining parameters. Measurement of different surface roughness parameters has been conducted after the cutting.
Introduction
In the battle to reduce costs, engineering and manufacturing departments are constantly on the lookout for an edge. The water jet process provides many unique capabilities and advantages that can prove very effective in the cost battle. Learning more about the water jet technology will give us an opportunity to put these cost-cutting capabilities to work. Beyond cost cutting, the water jet process is recognized as the most versatile and fastest growing process in the world. Waterjets are used in high production applications across the globe. They compliment other technologies such as milling, laser, EDM, plasma and routers. No poisonous gases or liquids are used in Waterjet cutting, and Waterjets do not create
